Software applications connect using APIs to data sources, each other, and the Internet of Things (IoT). SmartBear calls the collection of these applications, "The Connected World." Building applications for this new, more complex, world requires some different strategies and processes to keep things simple.

Mobile Testing Solutions

Rampant device and operating system fragmentation causes problems for mobile app testing. Additionally, behind every mobile app there is at least one or typically several APIs. Testing front-end or graphical user interface (GUI) in a silo is thereby not sufficient. Testers need to ensure that the GUI and API work together as expected. SmartBear provides tools that you overcome these challenges and delivery high quality mobile applications at speed.

Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vision of the future being built today, and represents huge business opportunities for device manufacturers, software developers, and cloud solution providers. SmartBear provides a family of tools to speed the delivery of IoT solutions with support for protocols like MQTT alongside traditional SOAP and modern REST web services, so you can start integrating aspects of functional, security, and performance into your testing process well before final builds are completed.

API Readiness

Innovators want to release great APIs, fantastically successful and widely adopted. These APIs have to be easy to use and deliver compelling amounts of value. Ready API provides an easy, cost-effective approach to maintaining proactive issue detection, secure, high performance APIs throughout their delivery lifecycles. SmartBear helps you stay focused on innovation while making sure you protect your assets before releasing your great ideas to the world.

API Virtualization

API teams face many obstacles to rapidly build, test, and deploy services. Testers need stable environments, developers need to be able to change things, and managers need everyone to work seamlessly without conflict. ServiceV Pro by SmartBear is the only API-specific virtualization platform requiring minimal skill and commitment to make a vital difference in your schedule and budget.

Continuous Integration

You are required to develop, test, and deploy in shorter release cycles to stay competitive in the market place. Add to that, market expectations that products need to be released on multiple platforms and devices. SmartBear provides tools to help you improve release cycle times by increasing automation across development-test-deploy stages.

Microservices

API development teams with more than a few small APIs need to deliver reliable web services for apps and devices to consume. Microservices are a revelation in how we build large-scale distributed systems, helping us build many single point solutions that integrate together at a higher level. But while microservice architecture provides a more evolved paradigm over older monolithic approaches, the pattern comes with its own challenges: newness, complexity, and overhead.

Performance Monitoring for Web, Mobile and APIs

Modern businesses heavily rely on web and mobile apps and the APIs that empower them. These applications work in conjunction to deliver seamless end user experience. Then why monitor them separately?

Alertsite provides a unified platform to monitor web, mobile and SaaS applications as well as the APIs you may provide or consume. AlertSite gives you a 360-degree view of your application performance, exactly as seen by the end user.
